Where they started

A divestiture meant a business that had run on its parent’s technology now needed its own.

What we did

  • Separation plan. Identified every system, contract and data set the divested business depended on.
  • Stand-up. Defined the systems and IT function the new business needed on day one.
  • Exit. Sequenced the move off the parent’s systems.

What changed

A clear path to independence: every dependency known, the new business’s day-one needs defined, and the exit from the parent’s systems planned in order.
